hi,
my father gave me several pieces of metall which according to him is platinum. But... I have melted it in the spoon over the flame. So it can't be platinum I guess. Then again, I measured the density and this metall has a density of platinum. Besides, it does not dissovle in HNO3, so this can'n be lead and it does react with hydrogen peroxyde producing small bubbles and this is exactly what platinum does. So I am lost, what do you think it is? Some kind of alloy?
